St Alban's Catholic Primary School

Birmingham, B14 5AL · Birmingham · primary school

Ofsted: Good · 2024 Inspected 2 years ago Mixed Primary Roman Catholic
7.0/10 Above average

47th of 259 primary schools in Birmingham we can score, 293 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.

Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 9.1/10 against 2,183 of them, against 8.0/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Get to know the school

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 77.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 13.0%. Ofsted rated the school Good in July 2024. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (9.1 out of 10 against similar schools, 8.0 out of 10 against all schools).

Beyond the classroom. Pupils join Dance, Swimming, and Stretch and Breathe clubs, compete in The St Albans World Cup, and attend The Palace Theatre for Cinderella. There is no breakfast or after-school club.

Getting in. The school has 207 pupils in a capacity of 218, leaving 11 spare places. This means the school has a little room, but is fairly full.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who arrive without a breakfast club? What specific steps are taken to maintain the 9.1 out of 10 performance against similar schools? How are the 11 remaining places allocated if demand increases?
